So, in summary.
- Bigger
- They put a USB port on top
- The controls, where removed, don’t need the stupid plastic add on the the shoulder buttons
Nothing on specs, battery, games /etc.
Color me unimpressed
This feels more like a reaction to leaks than a full announcement.
Excellent observation
well 1 on game, the Mario kart shown was not mario kart 8 deluxe
Re: point 2, it was never required.
If it doesn’t have hall effect sticks, they aren’t paying attention.
With the magnetic attachment to the main console, having hall effect joysticks would be basically impossible
It depends on where the magnets are located, but I agree it’s an engineering consideration.
Also, using magnets instead of rails does mean that if you drop your switch, the joycons will go flying.
Wouldn’t it only cause an interference when adding or removing a joycon? ie, when the magnetic field change isn’t from the joystick.
I dig the industrial design updates. Looks more refined, the bigger controllers will be nicer for multiplayer, and they finally fixed that terrible kick stand.
The leaked hardware specs, if real, also look promising.
